Hosted Studies

The Study Set Up Team support researchers to navigate their way through the HRA 'assess, arrange, and confirm' process so that they can begin recruiting to a study at UHDB.

If you have received information and would like to express an interest in opening a study at UHDB, please contact dhft.expression-of-interest@nhs.net. We can support you in completion of the request and provide supplementary information to strengthen your application.

In order to open a study at UHDB, applications are reviewed to ensure that they are deliverable, feasible, properly resourced and conducted according to relevant regulations. The Study Set Up Team is instrumental in getting the approval that you require to begin your study. If you are approached about a study that you want to collaborate with us on, contact us as soon as possible on dhft.researchgov@nhs.net and we will support you with the set-up.

We need to be notified of all amendments and, if necessary, will review any local implications of the amendment. Any amendments must be sent to dhft.amendments@nhs.net.
